Editing Twisted pair (section)

===Bonded===
A bonded twisted pair is a construction variant in which the two wires of each pair are bonded together for the length of the cable. Pioneered by [[Belden (electronics company)|Belden]], it is intended to help assure configuration consistency during and after installation. One key benefit is that the noise immunity performance of the cable can be protected despite potentially rough handling.<ref>{{cite web |title=Contractor Field-Testing Survey Reveals Performance-Related Cost Savings Using Bonded-Pair Cables |url=http://www.belden.com/docs/upload/TB67.pdf |publisher=Belden |access-date=13 August 2016}}</ref> The enhanced performance may be unnecessary and bonding reduces the flexibility of the cable and makes it prone to failure where it is flexed.<ref>{{cite web |title=Bonded Pair Cable |publisher=Turck |url=https://www.turck.us/static/media/downloads/WP_Bonded_Pair_Cable.pdf |access-date=2019-04-08 }}</ref>
